Whether You're a Jackie or a Marilyn, be Sure You're a Lady o' Legwear

Of all the fabulously fashionable elements we adore about the show Mad Men, what we're most mad for is what lies beneath: lacy, lovely legwear.

Whether adjusting their garters for work or straightening their stockings after a mid-afternoon assignation, few items are so unabashedly feminine and fabulous. With fall fashion's Jackie O suits, nubby tweeds, sassy suits, and Marilyn-worthy frocks - and all worn with proper pumps! - it's all about being "dressed" again. Which means hosiery! Keep those gams sleek (and warm) in lace, sex up a tweed sheath with tights in a classy shade of merlot or bold cobalt blue, slip into some thigh-highs, or make your exit memorable in a pair of seamed stockings.
